Sweet Buns
Let us start with something sweet shall we?!
GO straight to VB bakery for some hot and sweet buns. Soft and fluffy buns that just melt on biting that you can easily have at least three in one go. These buns fly off as soon as they are out of the oven. Fresh, hot and delicious. Grab some for home too.
Gobi Manchurian Roll

Twister Potatoes

Fire Paan
If you’re done for the day, top your street indulgence with the fire pan. The fire pan is the exact opposite of the Maghai pan. There is showmanship involved as the pan wala makes the pan with betel leaves from Kolkata along with chuna, chutney, Delhi masala, chocolate and pudina. Finally, to light the paan, a flame liquid clove is used. You would have to swallow the pan as it is ablaze.
A fiery end to your adventure on the culinary street!
